MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL : 18-9
Chapter 18. The Power Of Thought-9.
9. The Progeny Of Thoughts
Go It is not sufficient that your thoughts are not bad.
You must transmute bad thoughts into good thoughts.
This is the first part of your Sadhana.
You must make them helpful thoughts.
When they are sent out, they must be capable of doing immense good and benefit to the suffering humanity and your neighbours.
Thoughts are your own real children.
Be careful of your progeny of thoughts.
A good son brings happiness, name and fame to the father.
An evil son brings infamy, discredit to his father.
Even so, a noble thought will bring happiness and joy to you.
An evil thought will bring misery and trouble to you.
Just as you rear up your children with great care,
so also you will have to rear up good, sublime thoughts with great care.
